Linz Winter Workshop and
Advances in Single-Molecule Research for Biology & Nanoscience & Medicine
The Linz Winter Workshop will focus on biological single-molecule research, nano-science, nano-medicine, cell-science and bio-nanotechnology and include force and optical microscopy/spectroscopy techniques. This year, special sessions on nano-medicine and high-speed atomic force microstcopy will be organized.
The techniques presented will include:
| atomic force microscopy | optical spectroscopy |
| fluorescence microscopy | nano-mechanics |
| optical/magnetic tweezers | nano-fabrication methods |
| dynamic force spectroscopy | ultra-sensitiv sensoring |
It is the aim to provide a common platform for industry and academia.
We will also arrange a skiing day in the Austrian Alps on Friday, January 31, and a Winter School for young scientists and new-comers from January 28 until January 30.
